I’m Brandee, PMHNP-BC and founder of Kaleidoscope ClearPath Wellness. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, personal, and easy to understand. Healing happens when we slow down, listen to ourselves, and take small, caring steps forward. My approach blends mental health care with mindfulness, balance, and everyday habits that support your whole life. Here you'll find a gentle, judgment-free space for growth and clarity. My goal is simple; help you feel better and move forward with confidence.

Jeff Duckworth

Jeff Duckworth

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), which means I sit at the intersection of two things that almost always show up together: trauma and substance use. Most of my clients are dealing with one, the other, or both, and they're usually exhausted from trying to manage it alone or from therapy that didn't take their substance use seriously. I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to collaborate with you, meet you exactly where you are, and help you move forward with intention. That might mean we're untangling something from your past that still runs your present, or it might mean looking honestly at a relationship with alcohol or drugs that's stopped working for you. Either way, my priority is building a space where you feel safe, understood, and capable of actually changing your life, not just talking about changing it.

Sarah Steedman

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Valdosta, GA


I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.
